r------,I I I I OF Honor Awards : A Campus-to-Career Case History l Upon recommendation from the Board of Directors, the Execu­ I I tive Committee in conjunction with the Honor Point Committee I I undertook a study of the existing Honor Awards system. A report embodying the fololwing observations and procedural revisions was approved by the BOD on November 17. Significance and Intent of Honor Awards Honor awards serve as a recognition of service to the school. Participation in extracurricular activities constitutes a "service" in that activities possess an inherent, positive value. Participation can be defined on a threefold basis: a) support of organization-member. ship; b) active, concrete, and constructive interest; c) direct service in some form. Revisions in the ;\Jechanics of the Honor Awards System­ Applicahle as of 1959 a) Candidates for honor awards will be supplied with a standard application form with space for the title and a brief description of each activity. They will not specify whether they are applying for a key or a certificate. b) The Honor Point list formerly printed in the Little T will be eliminated and substituted with the following statement: "In recognition of service to the school and to the student body, ASCIT awards Honor Keys and Certificates to deserving students each year. Support of and active participation in any of the varied ASCIT sponsored activities, student clubs and organizations, tech­ nical societies, as well as student house leadership can be applied toward one of these awards. Honor Keys will be awarded only to those who in the opinion of the Honor Point Committee have done particularly vital or long term service to the student body through Bill Burns (far right} reviews a plan for expanding Syracuse's their extracurricular activities.
